Kerfluffle

A year or so ago, a girl on DL was outed as being the person behind a gay man who was well beloved. I guess she admitted to it, though I'm not sure.

The thing is: What harm was she doing?

If someone NEEDS more love and attention than they are getting as themselves, is it so wrong for them to put on a personna that they feel fits them and reach out to the world that way? Isn't that exactly what transgendered people do?

Why do we need to spend time and emotion on 'outing' someone who is doing us no harm?
